Danielle Marie Reacts to Vocatve-"Oh come, All Ye Faithful" Day 15: Fa-la-la-idays

[@sirtarin]

The highest notes are actually the soprano in the front (Kate) rather than the one in the back (Tiffany). Tiffany can go high as well and is a fantastic soprano, but Kate is the coloratura soprano who can do the absurdly high notes while still somehow blending.

[@amr21106]

Kate usually does those higher notes correct but in this song it is Tiffany doing the descant note on top in the middle of the song when they are all singing together.

[@jasonlicos]

She was right on the first one. Tiffany did the high notes. And the last high note was Kate's because it has more lighter texture. The arrangement is balanced really well. This is not debatable because it's so obvious.

[@sirtarin]

@@amr21106 Correct. In the middle of the song, Tiffany seems to be singing higher than Kate (or at least more distinctly), from around 6:40-7:27, especially around 7:02 on the long note. But Kate takes the higher notes on the second "Christ" run at 7:27. Danielle's commentary at 7:37 seems to accredit the really high note(s) to Tiffany instead of Kate, hence my comment (Which could have been clearer.).

[@dnwiebe]

Tiffany is definitely a stratospheric high soprano, but Kate is a freak of nature.

[@kimii2243]

@@dnwiebe what are you talking about? kate is the first and high coloratura soprano and then there's tiffany as the second soprano..what do you even mean by a freak of nature dude?

[@skreiztin]

The lead held his note for 24 seconds!!! And the fact that he went up, with strength, at the end of holding that note is so hard!

[@imuawarriors]

Voctave can pull off world-class arrangements like this. that being said, they can sing anything.

[@godimlarge]

This performance gives me chills every single time. And I’ve listened to it hundreds of times now 😊

[@ilonadever8249]

The soloist, EJ Cardona has an amazing voice. He's done two pieces with Voiceplay, I Can't Make You Love Me and Go the Distance. Great reaction Danielle!

[@bflandragon90]

His brother Omar was on the Voice

[@patbrewer4205]

And should have won

[@hejalll]

Yeah all of the members of voctave are superhero-status singers with amazing portfolio's, many of them being Disney and other esteemed titles. They are like the avengers of choirs.

[@ralphbiggs4549]

I just saw them last weekend in Detroit. This sounds EXACTLY like this live.....absolutly amazing.

[@ronallen6578]

Your reactions are so genuine. You are a real treat to listen to.

[@underthelines1]

I am so glad you reacted to this!! This is one of my faves from Voctave, literally unreal!!

[@michelehearns5325]

Mark Lowry wrote the words of "Mary Did You Know?". That is why he sings the lyrics so perfectly. He understands them perfectly - that and he has a wonderful trained voice!

[@jasonmcnair5294]

This is honestly my first time listening to this group and wow!!!!!

[@schumifannreins295]

Everything they do is breathtaking.

[@silmuffin86]

This is how I imagine angels sing

[@deannahaney7]

David Phelps sang with the Gaither Vocal Band for many years. Check out their performance at Carnegie Hall after 911, and hear David in the song “Let Freedom Live.”

[@dannydavis1659]

EJ held that note for so long. And that note that Tiffany was holding was spectacular.

[@dtyodeller]

That was Kate.

[@aaronburdon221]

@@dtyodeller Naw that was tiffany. It wasn't insanely high but it was pretty.

[@robertg.2022]

I hope you keep the voctave reactions coming! Their Mary did you know is phenomenal and o come Emmanuel/first Noel/wonder as I wander is insane

[@MJKFanatic]

The last high note in this one is Kate's F6, in Mary did you Know she hits the highest note I've heard from her (G6)

[@robertg.2022]

@@MJKFanatic have you listened to her solo in wonder as I wander? Because her high notes, clarity, and ability to sustain them is insane

[@xboxbml]

Yeah that top note is Kate in the front…she’s super good.

[@Freddie.Wiener]

Don’t apologize for letting the beauty play out. ❤

[@michaelengel3265]

In my opinion this is a masterclass in A Capella and choir....beautifully done...

[@dalemaddened780]

Great reaction! They are amazing. The person down in front that you said you think might sing a little bit of first soprano is Kate Lott. She is an insanely talented singer who sings the highest notes as others have been saying. Watch any other voctave performance and it is more obvious. Tiffany in the back is also a wonderful singer though.

[@laruencegiessman5593]

Most beautiful version I’ve heard😀

[@dkix89]

F6. It's the same note as Queen of the Night.

[@babyyeti2540]

Must, Must, MUST do “Mary Did You Know?”featuring Mark Lowry (who wrote the song). It’s hard to put into words how spectacular the arrangement and performance of that song is by this group and their guest vocalist.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Voctave ♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@briantorres332]

Oh please please react to voctaves- o come, o come Emmanuel! It’s pure MAGIC!!!!!!

[@ltkauffee]

Oh HECK yeah! Been waiting for THIS one!

[@thatsroughbuddy-]

It was about time someone as knowledgeable as you reacted to this absolute masterpiece again. Voctave is way too underrated so this reaction made me very happy.

[@bryanpscolka7280]

Absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@yesnonotexactly25]

The high notes at 7:34 and 10:30 are the soprano in front, Kate, not Tiffany. Rule of thumb is the highest notes are always her

[@neerajemanuel7771]

There are a few exceptions though, like Tiffany does all of the high parts in moon river and the last note(e flat 6) in o holy night was hit by her !

[@AudioVile]

I knew OF EJ before seeing this the first time. He has done collaborations with Pentatonix (and others). So, I knew he was good. THIS piece dropped my jaw. I think Voctave is probably the best sounding 'choir ensemble' I have ever heard. Your reaction was, as always, very good. I've been a subscriber for several months. I appreciate how your emotion and fascination shines through! After that, you often explain WHY your eyes popped out or you made that "OMG" expression. I'll make you a deal... You keep doing reactions, and I'll keep watching them (and giving them a thumbs up)!!

[@brentbrown9728]

Voctave, Prince of Egypt, DO IT NOW!!!!

[@carolemerckel3461]

Please also react to their "Prince of Egypt Medley" if you haven't already. I'm new to your channel and loved your comments. PS. I recently went to their concert in Columbia, MO. You should hear E.J. sing that live! Got a standing ovation!! 😊

[@jeronougues]

Love that you're finally catching up with Voctave! As some mentioned before here in the comments, the 1st soprano is actually Kate Lott (the blonde girl in the front - see how much she opens her mouth to reach those REALLY high notes), the one you mentioned (Tiffany) is actually Soprano 2 (coloratura soprano). Hope you keep reacting to their videos! The lead EJ also made some really good collabs with Voiceplay, so has his brother Omar. You'll love em! ❤

[@neerajemanuel7771]

Don't think Tiffany could be categorised a coloratura, basing on her timbre. She's a soprano with a coloratura instrument in her voice which enables her to sing notes easily up to e flat or an e6. Whereas Kate is a true coloratura and all of the high notes are very natural and easy for her to produce...

[@steby123]

Holy sustain Bat Man !!!!!!!!!!!

[@wendischambach6181]

Yeah, he's got a couple of holds in this one that are jaw-dropping. And then he actually goes UP in pitch at the end as he's crescendo-ing. It's incredible.

[@KeithGreen-d6o]

So glad you did this song with EJ Cardona. I suggest Where are you Christmas, O Holy Night and Mary Did You Know if you like Christmas songs.

[@dtyodeller]

The high soprano is the amazing Kate Lott. She’s a classically trained coloratura soprano.

[@zentrino336]

She was so distracted by the f7 at the end, that she didn't notice t far AJ held that last note forever.

[@benvang4102]

You should react Vocatve Jingle bells or Mr. grinch songs for fa la la idays number 16

[@dalebuck7168]

Kate Lott the soprano in the front is the first soprano. She is an Opera trained coloratura soprano...Tiffany, the soprano in the back is great but she is more pop...

[@KajiVocals]

Tiffany actually has a more classically-leaning technique in terms of her top register. Kate sings in a flageolet a lot.

[@todderickson2435]

Stunning vocals + stunning arrangement = me getting almost non-stop chills. WOW!! Great reaction as always Danielle! I recommend a great Home Free song that doesn't get enough attention: "What Christmas Means To Me." More of their hilarious side, and Rob sleighs the lead vocals. (See what I did there?) #subscriptionsquad

[@jamespeech3504]

Tiffany is mezzo and Kate is the illustrious 1st Soprano.

[@shanialover]

Can you PLEASE tell me why you didn't even mention that E.J. held the end for 26 seconds? Most reactors comment and are surprised by that instead of just focusing on how high Kate sang! 👱‍♀👱‍♀👗👗👠👠💓💓 If you haven't, can you react to Voctave sing Mary Did You Know with Mark Lowry who wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the music?

[@alansmith7071]

If you want to hear Kate Lott ( the high soprano) singing then check out "o come o come Emmanuel". I know you will enjoy it.

[@antoinebrg6299]

I'm soooo happy you reacted to Voctave again !! And that one is one of my favorite, my jaw dropped like yours at the end ahaha You absolutly NEED to react to their Disney Love Medley, it's their best one and the singer from Pentatonix is their guest ! And then I'll give you other great ones so that you have some ammunitions : Poor Unfortunate Souls/I Put A Spell On You ft. Rachel Potter Disney Showstoppers Medley Mary, Did You Know - Voctave feat. Mark Lowry (the original songwriter !) Someone Like You (from Jekyll and Hyde) - feat. Jody McBrayer Hope you'll continue I love your reactions !

You would like Voctave "Where are you Christmas"

[@wendischambach6181]

Except warn her to make sure she had Kleenex handy...

[@allendesalme197]

And now for something completely different, as they used to say on Monty Python, you must listen to the Pentatonix version of O Come All Ye Faithful - you have not heard it this way before and, as with all their stuff, it is fantastic!

[@robertdantas196]

react to Gabriel Henrique, he is a Brazilian singer with various vocal techniques, you will not regret it

[@georgeyang3851]

Dianelle, Morissette's also singing this song Oh Come All faithful in her last year in favor church performance. Pls check it out! Merry Xmas!

[@nelsonhemstreet3568]

Anything Voctave gets thumbs up. #subcriptionsquad

[@Ackatizzle17]

Voiceplay has released a new cover, and it is most definitely mandatory reaction material. Metallica's Nothing Else Matters as performed by Voiceplay ft. JNone

[@SnapFuses]

I recommend you listening to "Wildflower" by Park Hyo Shin! He is a Korean singer and is very technically talented. It's about his struggles and difficult living under a harsh company agent and also his closest friend committing suicide.

[@武田晃-t8t]

この曲は、低音がしっかりしてないとグズグズになるんです。VOCTAVEの低音は、神ってる！！

[@arthurhayden5875]

I need to go see if you have found the Voctave video featuring Kristen from Pentatonix and her then boyfriend. You get a much better chance to hear Kate, the shorter blonde soprano who is in the front in this video, sing her amazing high notes.

[@nickbietz]

How did you watch the Disney princess medley before this one and think that anyone other than Kate was doing the high notes in this??

[@daviddavison3970]

This time of season you got to hear either An Easter Hallelujah or A Christmas Hallelujah by Cassandra Star & her sister Callahan. # Subscription squad

[@gryphoncompanion]

Totally an F6, not F7.

[@hammie2]

Not to be critical, BUT, how did you NOT acknowledge that he held that note for ten full seconds then bumped up to the higher note for an additional 15 seconds, HODLing all the way.

[@aaronarmstrongaa]

I was really excited to find your channel and love your voice but when I scrolled through y ok it videos you pretty much concentrate on 6 artists. Why?

[@alisalavine1052]

Unfortunately I'm unsubscribing to your channel. I've noticed over and over again that when you do these reactions, you are always pointing out the highest voices. The altos have lovely movement throughout the piece father then just holding down that E we are forever stuck with in older arrangements of music. The basses are so great here. Kate and Tiffany are always spectacular, I get it. But moving forward, maybe point out the lines that are harder to hear. It's a great opportunity to show your subscribers that a choir or a cappella or whatever is more than just the high notes. Sincerely, an Alto 1.
